rial No. 193,060. GermanyMarch 2, 1937 8 Claims. (CLEO-32) The present invention relates to a new process of polymerizing butadienes-lfi and to the new polymerizates which are obtainable thereby.
It is known that the polymerization of butadienes-l.3 easily results in theformation of prod ucts which are insoluble in benzene and resemble vulcanized'rubber rather than the unvulcanized product. In consequence thereof, the working of these products on the roller and the incorporation therewith of'illling materials and the in gredients which are necessary for effecting vulcanization is connectedswith considerable difli-. culties. Moreover, themechanical properties of the vulcanizates obtained from such products are materially impaired when compared with those.
vulcanizates obtained from benzene soluble polymerizates. In order to avoid these disadvantages it has been proposed to effect the heat polymerization of butadienes-1.3 in the presence of sulfurv or certain sulfur containing compounds. It is not disputed that certain improvements are obtained thereby; however, by the use'of these additions the disadvantage is involved that the course of I the polymerization is considerably retarded; moreover, the presence of sulfur and the said sulfur containing compounds may result in the formation of undesired dimeric by-products.
It is the object of the present invention to do away with these disadvantages and to develop a It has been found that organic sulfur containing compounds which are soluble in the monomeric substances to'be polymerized exert a remarkable regulating eflect upon the course of the emulsion polymerization. sulfur containing products are preferred which contain at least 2 sulfur atoms .directly connected with each other, i. e. organic disulfldes. Examples for suitable regulators are malkylxanthogen; di (benzoic acid ester) tetra sulfides, tolyldimlflde and tolyltrisulflde. In most cases an'amoimt of less than 1% of these regulators (calculated on the amount of monomeric products) ia'suilcient to exert the desired eifectrin other cases someis properties.
what higher amountsare required. Depending.v
on the amount of the regulators the resulting polymerizates either resemble natural rubber orare of a more plastic nature, the yield and solubility in organic solvents such as benzene being excellent regardless of the amount of such re8lllators. In this respect our new process is superior to the hitherto employed heat polymerization in the presence of sulfur and sulfur containinscom- 10 pounds; since in the latter case the amount of the'regulators must be carefully controlled if a good yield is to be combined with a good solubility of the polymerizates.
The new process can be applied to every polylli merizable butadiene- 1.3, the latter term being intended to comprise the unsubstituted butadiene as well as the homologues thereof such as isoprene. As a matter of fact, also mixtures of such butadienes with other polymerizable compounds such asstyrene o'r acrylic acid nitrile can be employed. It is to be understood that such sulfur containing'regulators are preferred, as have only a weak vulcaniz'ing eifect or no such effect at all.
The following examples illustrate the present invention without, however, restricting. it thereto the'parts being by weight:
' trample 0.5 part of diisopropylxanthogendisulflde aa- 30. solved in 69 parts of butadiene are emulsified in 200 parts of a 5% sodium oleate solution containing 0.3 part of ammonium persulfate. After a several days shaking a soluble plastic polymeiizate is obtained in a quantitative yield. sample 2 0.1 part of diisopropylxanthogendisulflde dis- .solved in 52 parts of butadien'e and 22. parts styrene are emulslfiedin 200 parts of a 5% sodi- 49 um oleate solution containing 0.3 part of ammonium persuli'ate. After a severaldays shaking at 30 and upon coagulation there is obtained ina nearly quantitative yield an] easily soluble mixed polymerilate which. shows excellent I mechanical,

Polymerization is efiected by a 5 to 6 hours shaking at 30.
